I have been craving lemon cookies for 3 weeks — every since Celia brought them to Lindzee’s cookie party and I ate my share that day. Oh my, they were amazing. So I asked Celia to share her recipe and she graciously did.
I altered just a few things and they still turned out delish. Below is the recipe, enjoy!
FROSTED LEMON COOKIES
Makes 4 dozen
Cookie:
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
2 eggs
Zest of one lemon
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
Glaze:
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup lemon juice
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Combine salt, baking soda, cream of tartar, lemon juice, lemon zest, eggs and butter in mixer. Mix until smooth.
3. Add in flour and sugar. Mix until well blended.
4. Drop dough (spoonful), 2 inches apart, onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 7 minutes or until edges are slightly browned.
5. Meanwhile, combine glaze ingredients in mixer and mix until smooth. Frost warm cookies with glaze.
Enjoy!
